October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. This year, 297,790 American women and 2,800 American men will learn they have breast cancer. Another 55,720 women will learn they have noninvasive (also called in situ) breast cancer. Breast cancer can often be cured. About 83% of all patients with breast cancer live at least 10 years after their diagnosis.

IMMUNOTHERAPY
Immunotherapy is a type of drug or medication that can block the signals that cancer cells use to “hide” from our immune system. Blocking these signals allows the immune system to fight cancer in a very different way than other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy, which directly damage cancer cells.
